Most books I have read from Microsoft Press have been good, but this one is not one of them. The chapters referred to the SQL Book Online (BoL) way too often. It also jumped around on topics and referenced items that you would not read about until chapters later.

The worst part of the book was the fact that some review questions were NOT covered in the book. I went to the index to lookup the unknown term in the question and the ONLY page referenced was the page with the question on it!

You can write a book review and share your experiences. Other readers will always be interested in your opinion of the books you've read. Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them.
